Samsung WB35F vs Sony A6000 Sensor Comparison

Typically, its difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizes purely by viewing technical specs. The pic here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the WB35F and A6000.

As you have seen, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The WB35F having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony A6000 will render extra detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos way more aggressively.
